During December, Rabbi Barbara Goldman-Wartell conducted a family education program. The students conducted their own program and then prepared lunch for everyone. They set the tables and made latkes, Israeli salad, and tuna and fruit platters.

Rabbi Barbara will conduct a Family Education program for the Bar-Bat Mitzvah students in the near future.

The teen group has joined the National Federation of Temple Youth of the Reform Movement and have attended several events to meet other Jewish youth. On Jan. 13, the group heard Tom Breslauer, a Holocaust survivor, present his life story. He inspired the group and left them with the message that no matter how difficult the situation, if you persevere, you can succeed. He told the group not to hate.
